Tour Plan
The Knuckles Mountain Range lies in central Sri Lanka, north-east of the city of Kandy. The range takes its name from a series of recumbent folds and peaks in the west of the massif which resemble the knuckles of clenched fist when viewed from certain locations in the Kandy District. Whilst this name was assigned by early British surveyors, the Sinhalese residents have traditionally referred to the area as Dumbara Kandu Watiye meaning mist-laden mountain range. The entire area is characterised by its striking landscapes often robed in thick layers of cloud but in addition to its aesthetic value the range is of great scientific interest. It is a climatic microcosm of the rest of Sri Lanka.
Riverston Trekking is one of the most well-known adventure activities to try in Sri Lanka. The long trek along the hill won’t make you tired because of the ever-blowing wind that refreshes you from the beginning to the end. The entire region is a miracle of mother nature. The misty mountain top is the place where a giant telecommunication tower stands. We highly recommend this trek for all travelers who love adventure and enjoying nature’s beauty at the same time. There is a myth about Pitawala- pathana that Rama and Rawana had a chemical war here. Also, Tampita Temple - A unique temple with its prominent feature being mounted on dwarfed rock pillars

Our family had an exhilarating experience trekking through the breathtaking mountain range, with Riverston Peak serving as a stunning backdrop. The paths were well-marked and offered a variety of scenery, from dense forests to open vistas that made the journey truly memorable. We especially loved the picnic spot we found near a serene stream, where we took a break to soak in the magnificent views. One small suggestion would be to include more frequent water stations along the trek, as it got a bit warm at times. Overall, this adventure was a delightful blend of nature and exploration, and we left feeling invigorated and connected to the stunning landscapes around Kandy.

We had an amazing day trekking through some breathtaking mountain trails, where the views from the peak were simply unforgettable. The transportation was smooth, but a little more time at the summit would have made the experience even better.
